Change the national anthem to something Jeremy Corbyn would be proud to sing.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I don't believe the British national anthem represents modern Britain. As we move toward a more seculer and culturally diverse society, the national anthem remains inaccessible for non religious people and those from different cultural backgrounds.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

I'm sorry - we cannot accept duplicate petitions. We think this petition is similar to yours:

Change the national anthem to a secular, non-monarchical anthem.

You might like to sign this petition instead. It is more likely to get more signatures that way.
